Korel Laloix: Another odd day for me.. a lot going on.
Wol Euler: oh?
Korel Laloix: Work and school and had a long chat with my Aunts last night about ther efforts to figure out who my father is... I know, pathetic.
Korel Laloix: So lots on my mind and heart.
Wol Euler nods.

Korel Laloix: Lots of no sugar added products for diabetics.
Korel Laloix: Use several different artificial sweetenters which have differet issues themselves.

Alfred Kelberry: based on true story. a sad one.
Aphrodite Macbain: oh?
Korel Laloix: I did not change, SL did.
Storm Nordwind: Some kind of murder mystery from five years ago?
Aphrodite Macbain: wow. pretty dramatic. From white to black
Wol Euler: huh
Korel Laloix: NO idea what was going on while ago.
Aphrodite Macbain: It was your alter ego
Korel Laloix: My color fades a bit in winter, but not that much... smiles
Aphrodite Macbain: fighting to get out
Alfred Kelberry: 5 years ago?

--BELL--

Aphrodite Macbain: from the mother's perspective
Aphrodite Macbain: Are you comfy boxy?
Aphrodite Macbain: Looks like the chair was made for you
Aphrodite Macbain: I have to go and write something for my happiness piece.
Wol Euler: bye aph, take care, write well
Storm Nordwind: Yay!
Aphrodite Macbain: See you later everyone
Storm Nordwind: Looking forward to reading it!
Storm Nordwind waves
Aphrodite Macbain: :-) thanks for all you're doing Storm
Aphrodite Macbain: Bye
Aphrodite Macbain: Bye! all
Storm Nordwind: Thank you for the rose!
Alfred Kelberry: storm, tell us a story about snowy mountains :)
Storm Nordwind: Hehe!
Storm Nordwind: They are water supply in summer. So we like them snowy in winter. :)
Alfred Kelberry: good. very practical :)
Storm Nordwind: It would nice to hold a PaB gathering up there, but acclimatization to the altitude would take longer than the gathering itself!
Alfred Kelberry: oh yes, totally worth it
Alfred Kelberry: what altitude?
Storm Nordwind: How would you like it, in feet or metres?
Alfred Kelberry: the latter please :)
Storm Nordwind: Most retreat places are at around 2700m
Alfred Kelberry: ah, that's not bad
Alfred Kelberry: wonderful air
Storm Nordwind: No not too bad, but still stressful for many people
Storm Nordwind: The mountains themselves are around 4300m
Alfred Kelberry: awesome :)
Alfred Kelberry: sign me up!
Storm Nordwind: On most days I can look out of my building here and see the mountains 90km to the north and also 90km to the south
Storm Nordwind: The air is very clear.
Wol Euler: wow
Storm Nordwind: Of course they're much closer than that to the west!
Storm Nordwind: It's beautiful in many ways here, depending on what you're capable of seeing and responding to.
Wol Euler smiles.
Alfred Kelberry: amazing... now of course you can talk about endless happiness and deep well in such area :)
Alfred Kelberry: but there are also mortals on the ground :)
Storm Nordwind: I could do so in grimy Glasgow at sea level in pouring rain too!
Storm Nordwind: But I've had three more years of practice since then :)
Alfred Kelberry: well, yes. me too in rainy drizzling bergen :)
Storm Nordwind: Where I live now, we have 300 sunny days a year. When I lived in Scotland, we had 300 rainy days a year!
Alfred Kelberry: you should post at least one pic a week of the mountains and local sights, storm
Storm Nordwind: Where to?
Alfred Kelberry: pab
Alfred Kelberry: or pab-cafe :)
Alfred Kelberry: upload them to imgur.com
Storm Nordwind: pab-cafe maybe... I know some people don't like the extra emails! ;-)

--BELL--

Alfred Kelberry: it's a shame not to share such beauty
Storm Nordwind: You have seen the picture I have posted before, have you Alfred? The one from the road I live on?
Alfred Kelberry: i've seen one of a snowy tree :)
Storm Nordwind: I meant this one: http://i.imgur.com/HmlOd.jpg
Alfred Kelberry: ah, wonderful :)
Storm Nordwind: Taken last March
Storm Nordwind: Looking west along my road toward Mount Evans
Storm Nordwind: (4348 m)
Wol Euler: nice
Storm Nordwind: My apartment is at 1700m
Zen Arado: Hi all
Storm Nordwind: Hi Zen!
Wol Euler: hello zen
Zen Arado: mine is a 0 M
Zen Arado: :)
Zen Arado: maybe 5 M
Alfred Kelberry: there must be other factors on health, cause 2k meters isn't that high. i've just chacked, i was at 3400 and felt just fine as many other folks.
Alfred Kelberry: humidity, terrain, whatnot
Storm Nordwind: You are young and fit and don't drink alcohol perhaps?
Alfred Kelberry: there were older people who do :)
Alfred Kelberry: well, it's certainly a wonderful idea to host a pab meeting there :)
Alfred Kelberry: zen! :)
Storm Nordwind: It took me a month before I felt I was completely safe driving regularly at 2000m
Storm Nordwind: But I am very sensitive to minute changes in me, so perhaps I'm being overconsiderate!
Alfred Kelberry: which is good in such conditions :)
Storm Nordwind: The other problem is that most places are 190km+ from an international airport
Zen Arado: people live in the Altiplano in S.America at around 500 M if I remember right
Zen Arado: was in a TV prog
Zen Arado: 5000 m
Alfred Kelberry: oh
Zen Arado: problems with pregnancies I remember
Alfred Kelberry: peru is on my travel list
Storm Nordwind: Well it would lovely to meet people up here in the Rockies, but I suspect there are "quicker easier wins" elsewhere.
Alfred Kelberry: yes, it would require a solid preparation

--BELL--

Storm Nordwind: And by the attendees, as maybe some would have to train to be in just 75% of the oxygen they were used to! ;-)
Zen Arado: think I'll install art thing
Zen Arado: it's pretty simple
Zen Arado: bye
Storm Nordwind: Bye Zen!
Wol Euler: bye zen+
Alfred Kelberry: 75%, but so fresh :)
Storm Nordwind: and clear
Storm Nordwind: and thin!
Alfred Kelberry: nom
Alfred Kelberry: i'd eat that
Storm Nordwind: You can throw people further of course too ;)
Wol Euler: heheheh
Storm Nordwind: Of course, because you're nearer the sun, it must be hotter too - right? ;-)
Wol Euler: o.O
Storm Nordwind: The mountain I showed you a picture of from my road, Mt Evans... there's a paved road right to the top, the highest place you can drive to in the US
Alfred Kelberry: fancy :)
Storm Nordwind: Though it's only open May - September
Alfred Kelberry: is there a gas station on top with a bar and restaurant?
Storm Nordwind: Once there was a cafe at the top. I don't think there's anything now
Alfred Kelberry: americans don't climb - they drive! :)
Storm Nordwind: Right! They have a lot of scenery like this to get through: http://www.mountevans.com/
Alfred Kelberry: you'd make a good travel agent. i already want to give you my money :)
Storm Nordwind: Accepted. :)
Storm Nordwind: Anyone else?
Wol Euler: :)
Alfred Kelberry: paid :)
Storm Nordwind: haha!!!
Alfred Kelberry: on a side note. it'd be nice if our thoughts could be neatly presented in a procfs.
Alfred Kelberry: maybe one day
Storm Nordwind: When I lived in the south of England, I used to watch the midsummer sun rise over the North Sea with friends. My aim here is to do the same from the top of Mount Evans.
Wol Euler: cool
Alfred Kelberry: you seem to always have been in touch with nature. this is great.

--BELL--

Storm Nordwind: I'm fortunate to have lived in so many great places. It's not difficult when it's made easy for you like that
Storm Nordwind: The only thing I don't have here is the sea. It's 1000 mile drive to Los Angeles and some of the nearest cooastline.
Alfred Kelberry: yes, you can't have anything :)
Alfred Kelberry: er, everything
Wol Euler: my dears, I'm going to have to leave, too tired.
Wol Euler: goodnight, take care
Storm Nordwind waves
Alfred Kelberry: woly girl :)
Alfred Kelberry: i should be going too
Storm Nordwind will go and label Zen's artwork
Alfred Kelberry: you two be good :)
Alfred Kelberry: kori and stormy :)
Storm Nordwind: Namaste
Alfred Kelberry: eh, left
Alfred Kelberry: bye, kori girl :)
Korel Laloix: Ciao.
